Late summer bloom

A late warm day brought out a large number of butterflies; since this is Scotland in late September I guess they won't last long. The back yard is littered with fallen leaves every morning and there will be frosts sooner rather than later.

This butterfly, I've no idea what variety it is, landed in the echinops flowerbed outside my bedroom window.

25 Sept and I've looked up my butterfly guide; it is a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta)
